Monitor a Hyper-Converged Database (HCD) cluster

Hyper-Converged Database (HCD) provides a wealth of metrics regarding your clusters. Understanding the performance characteristics of a cluster is critical to diagnosing issues and planning capacity.

DataStax recommends using Mission Control to monitor clusters and view metrics. Mission Control provides valuable insights into your clusters by visually representing the most useful metrics in dashboards.

HCD exposes a number of statistics and management operations via Java Management Extensions (JMX). You can get statistics and metrics using DataStax tools or the Java Console (JConsole), and then add those metrics to dashboards in external monitoring tools (such as Prometheus) or Mission Control.
